Kevin Valentine's Jazz Quartet Live - Jazz It Up Philly Spotlight at Vesper

Jazz It Up Philly Begins Our 3rd Season with Spotlight Wed. Sept 14th to Vesper with Kevin Valentine's Jazz Quartet. Summer may be ending, but the party is not. Don't miss the excitement of our 1st show of the season with over $1,000 in prizes.
